Tracking gene order provides a new perspective on intraspecific evolution in microbiotas.
Strain tracking in complex microbiomes using synteny analysis reveals per-species modes of evolution.
SynTracker: a pipeline to track closely related microbial strains using genome synteny
In the human gut microbiome, specific strains emerge due to within-host evolution and can occasionally be transferred to or from other hosts. Phenotypic variance among such strains can have implications for strain transmission and interaction with the host. Surveilling strains of the same species, within and between individuals, can further our knowledge about the way […]
